In view of the widespread of group collective organizational deviance and its profound influence on the development of the organization, its causes and formation mechanism have attracted great attention from the academic and practical circles. Drawing on social identity theory, we attempt to explore the influence mechanism of servant leadership on group collective organizational deviance, especially the intermediation of team egoism. In order to test our model, we conducted a survey on 394 subordinates and 102 team leaders from 5 companies in Pearl River Delta, China. It is found that servant leadership can reduce team egoism, team egoism will enhance group collective organizational deviance, and team egoism plays a mediating role in the relationship between servant leadership and group collective organizational deviance. Our work uses social identity theory to build a comprehensive frame work for understanding the antecedents of group collective organizational deviance, thus providing a uniquely generative frame work for further research.
